I started Christmas 1997. Apart from a week or two while travelling from time to time I have played consistently - I am still absolutely useless at playing but love the game!
Started in Trinsic with players like Tiffahus, Kira, Baldric,Carnifix,Interpol,Brandina, FenixZ, Cry for Dawn, Confucious, Twilighteyes, the Knights of Glory and Beer and many others- all long since gone except for Tiff.

LOL I started some time in 98 on Napa. I was a Archer Tailor!!! My brother played beta so i had an idea of how the game worked. Then i passed his trammi ass up in gold and skill. He quit like 4 years ago.

I remember I was playing UO before I had my drivers license. That would have been 12-13 years. Used to play atl. I was in LNR. Got sick of the crowded server, so me and a couple friends went to Oceana. (big mistake) Got super bored there, x-fered over to Origin. This was the time FL was on their 'world tour', and they wouldn't let me in, so I started a guild called the R. (the revolution) Came back and x-fered to pac, where I used to play with Sargon (pre-hag). We were SoG at that time. I quit for another year+, and when I came back I hooked up with M and realized I didn't want to play with hag, so me, Pink, and Asha created SUPR. The rest is history.

Me and Delinquent started playing about the same time. Christmas of 97. We were both in this noob guild called FOE. We even had these awesome matching outfits with purple capes. lol. But Delinquent wouldn't wear the outfit. Go figure.

Anyone else remember the Hawaiian boys - Lemmon (?)etc? I think they were FOB guild. Also Annie who had the highest bounty across all shards. The Gathered Spirits gang, also Sir Tim, Sir Troth... so many really good players all deserted UO

Stratics Veteran

I knew some guys from Hawaii, but no Lemon, I recal Athos, Pinneapple, Porthos, Dartanian, azmodean....can't recal others names. Remember Pokemon? I knew him before he went red. One red we used to play with was Fenix, anyone remember him? I was killed by Annie and her gang when I looted a body for another person and was waiting for their return. Rand Al Thor the first guy I knew to get lord status back in 98. Who was that crazy tinker pk dude who lived outside Trinsic? And that crazy guy who went around flamestriking pack horses in town, I forget his name too?

I remember Pokemon (and his brother Robert) - he returned once but didn't stay long. Fenix was a good friend . Yep, I remember Rand Al Thor he had a Keep south of Trinsic and I remember him with fondness as he healed me (Penelope) when I was being slaughtered by an Ettin . I miss those days.

Started in beta been on pack since the first day it came up. I was in the dread lord jimis guild and the dimaskis guild as well as FL and cd curentley in wv guild so many other guilds i can t rember. Have left on numerious occasions but have always come back no other game has been abel to hold me like uo has. I can rember playing with coltrane and gem and bunch more but the names illude me at the moment.

Hey I started on Atlantic too...and I was in LNR. I used to kill ettins and whatnot south of the guild castle, go back to the vendor by the castle and buy bandages. Was a rinse and repeat kinda thing. They took me on my first dungeon crawl!

LNR was the largest and most powerful UO guild ever. I remember times when obs would throw up a gate to raid, and by the time the last member made it through the gate to the front door of despise, the guild was slaughtered, coon down, scrolls counted and everyone already back at the castle. . I'd usually make it in time to horde gold with the rest of the lack-luster players, only to get dropped by the guild on their counter-raid.

LNR was also the biggest scam ever. The scrolls worked on a bidding system, based on pts received for participation. The numbers never added up, and the higher ups ALWAYS got the scrolls. Later, I found out that obs and those guys were making tons of rl $ selling them. . .

I was in them when they first started, champ spawns didn't exist! But yeah LNR was huge. I remember when I finally made it back to Atlantic. VIP x-fered me over. I used to have a screenshot of like 14 of us killing 56 of them on the despise island.

VIP was the guild 'Sid' (Sidious) started after **** really hit the fan in LNR. I always felt like it was a bit of a back-stab against the very players that taught sid everything about the game. (yes, he was a f'kn NOOB when he first joined them) They were, however, a relatively solid guild for the times, although, I think they would get wiped out these days. I wonder if Sid is still playing. . He was such a jerk.

what was more impressive than VIP was SX. I know that some SX members were VIP, but the original SX was impressive as hell.

People that think giving someone vent info will give them some sort of tactical advantage in the field or enable them to hack their accounts are stupid. I'll see what we can do for you chad, the more UT players the merrier imo.

Woohoo! Who is the best UT player thus far? I'm going to have to take their spot!

Stratics Veteran

Best player is either Set or Juvi. Just depends on the map/weapons etc..
Juvi is the more talented sniper, Set is more agro. I have fits of brilliance as well. . .
Its hard to measure talent in Urt. Everyone has a different style that bears different results. Set usually has the most kills, but sometimes my kill/death ratio is better. Juvi might not get as many kills as he snipes alot, but he rarely dies and he ALWAYS hits me in the head...
edit: pink can rock your world some nights too, and set's brother tu, as well as baron, have both come a long way..
